[PATCH 06/14] mm: Export unusable free space index via debugfs

[Mel Gorman]

The unusable free space index measures how much of the available free
memory cannot be used to satisfy an allocation of a given size and is
a value between 0 and 1. The higher the value, the more of free memory
is unusable and by implication, the worse the external fragmentation
is. For the most part, the huge page size will be the size of interest
but not necessarily so it is exported on a per-order and per-zone basis
via /sys/kernel/debug/extfrag/unusable_index.

> cat /sys/kernel/debug/extfrag/unusable_index
Node 0, zone      DMA 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.001 0.005 0.013 0.021 0.037 0.037 0.101 0.230
Node 0, zone   Normal 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.001 0.002 0.002 0.005 0.015 0.028 0.028 0.054
